Two Challenges Completed

There are the books I read for this challenge. 13 1/2 by Nevada Barr Still Life by Louise Penny Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep The Vintage Caper by Peter Mayle Shadow Blade by Seressia Glass The Coroner's Lunch by Colin Cotterill The Chatham School Affair by Thomas H. Cook The Deepest Water by Kate Wilhelm Heat Wave by Richard Castle Death Qualified by Kate Wilhelm Veil of Lies by Jeri Westerson Two Lethal Lies by Annie Solomon Looking at the list, I'm not sure which was my favorite.

The Chatham School Affair was probably the only one on this list that had me in tears. Some of these are overlaps, because they truly fit in both categories.

Maybe, but probably not. I'm going to give it another shot in 2010. Becky's hosting it at A to Z Challenge....
